Optimize Your Water Softener Performance with the FL60020-50 Fleck Brine Line Flow Control
When it comes to maintaining a smooth and efficient water softener system, controlling the brine flow is critical. The FL60020-50 Fleck Brine Line Flow Control, designed specifically for Fleck valve parts, offers a dependable solution to regulate brine solution flow at a precise 0.5 gallons per minute rate. This component ensures your water treatment system operates safely and efficiently, preventing overflows and improving regeneration consistency.
Key Benefits
- Maintains consistent brine flow for optimal water softening results
- Protects your system from brine line flooding or salt bridging issues
- Enhances the efficiency of Fleck valve parts by regulating flow precisely
- Durable construction withstands typical water softener operating conditions
- Easy to install and compatible with most standard Fleck water softener valves
- Minimizes maintenance needs by preventing flow irregularities
How It Works
The FL60020-50 flow control regulates the amount of brine solution that passes through the brine line during the regeneration cycle of your water softener. By maintaining a steady flow rate of 0.5 gallons per minute, it ensures the resin beads in the softener tank are properly recharged with salt ions. This precise control helps prevent brine overflow and salt wastage, promoting a more efficient and reliable softening process.
Installed inline with the brine line, this flow control works seamlessly with Fleck valves, adjusting automatically as needed during the system’s cycles without manual intervention.
What to Expect
After installing the FL60020-50, you'll notice your water softener regenerates more consistently, with improved brine draw and less chance of salt bridging or overflow. In the first few days, the flow control will stabilize the brine flow, contributing to better softening performance.
Over time, this component maintains reliable operation with minimal maintenance, helping extend the life of your water softener system by preventing common brine line issues.
